Recycling
Vince took the recycling to the recycling center. It came to 51 pounds worth of cardboard, plastic, tin and aluminum. This accumulated since we last made the trip in early December. We calculated our recycling keeps about 60 bags of trash from ending up in the Middle Point landfill here in Rutherford County. We produce about a bag of trash per week.
Here’s a piece from the Murfreesboro Post (06-12-07) about the landfill.
In Jan. 1988, ROMAC sold its 200 acres to BFI for $10 million.
“I was stunned and realized that the political world was a pretty rough place,” Bullen said. “That event was the last that anyone expected. … People were totally stunned.”
BFI opened Jefferson Pike (Middle Point) landfill’s gates to local trash in the spring of 1988 with an expected lifetime of 20 years.
